Peter Strausfeld (14 September 1910 – 9 July 1980) was a German-born British artist, illustrator and animator, particularly known for his film posters.
[1][2] Strausfeld moved to Brighton, England, in 1938, due to his being politically and culturally opposed to the Nazi regime.
[1] However, he was interned in Onchan on the Isle of Man from 1940 to 1941, where he became good friends with the Austrian film producer George Hoellering.
[1][3] Strausfeld created all of the images in linocut or woodcut and they appeared in many London Underground stations.
[1][4] He created posters for over 300 different films, all printed by hand in runs of up to 100, rising to 300 in the mid-1970s, and as most were used in Underground stations, few copies survive.
